Surgical Embolectomy for Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism
Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is a catastrophic event, especially for hospitalized patients. The prognosis of pulmonary thromboembolism depends on the degree of pulmonary arterial occlusion. The mortality of massive pulmonary embolism is reportedly as high as 25% without cardiopulmonary arrest and 65% with cardiopulmonary arrest. In patients with unstable hemodynamics due to pulmonary thrombo...

OBJECTIVE Acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant mortality rate despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances. The aim of this study was to analyze our clinical outcomes of patients with acute massive PE who underwent emergency surgical pulmonary embolectomy.

متن کاملDesmoteplase in acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism.
Alteplase is standard therapy for patients with acute, massive pulmonary embolism. The novel plasminogen activator desmoteplase displays high fibrin specificity and selectivity for fibrinbound plasminogen. In a preclinical model desmoteplase was twice as potent with a shorter lysis time and lower reocclusion rate. We conducted a phase II study comparing 125, 180, and 250 microg/kg bodyweight de...
متن کاملEndovenous Treatment for Acute Massive Pulmonary Thromboembolism
Treatment for venous thromboembolic conditions differs significantly depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic. Endovenous treatment is now available for treating the most severe cases of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism, and the goal is rapid central clot removal to relieve life-threatening pulmonary circulation. Endovenous catheter interventions include catheter-directed t...
